Gcse maths test

These seem suspiciously easy maths questions for a 16 yr old.
One of them had me briefly wanting to reach for pen & paper, but I managed it with mental arithmetic.

7/7.

7/7. Quite tough but seems about the same sort of level I remember when I did GCSEs

The article says

“from the Foundation Tier paper, which is for pupils expecting to achieve the lower 1-5 grades, so they're easier than the other Higher Tier paper. We've also picked out some of the easiest questions from the paper to increase your chances of success.”

Higher level GCSE, which most pupils take is harder than this. Plus this is the non- calculator test, so basically mental arithmetic.

It's the easiest set of questions from the easiest paper. That said, I can't solve the numbers based ones, which is why I'm applying for a dyscalculia assessment.

Not sure why they're calling it GCSE Maths. Most of the questions were simple arithmetic.

Because it’s click bait to get their readership to huff and puff about how easy it is for kids these days and that they don’t know they’re born. Give them some of the higher mark questions from the main paper and see how they get on.
